Hmmm. Not sure. I run on the road. You may have to start increasing in to about 7 or 8 just before you have to start your sprint and take it back to 4 just before you're due to stop. Might need a little trial and error!! Think the main thing is that you sprint for 15 seconds somewhere around...

Crikey!! Don't use me as inspiration!! I'm so repetitive!! Really must shake things up a bit!!! :)

Yep! Subscribed for more info. It looks like fun!! I found that the intervals are good for weight loss and endurance / fitness!! By doing this it makes my time over 5k much better!! X

I'm doing running for weight loss. I'm on intermediate week 3 and it's something like warm up, 3 min run, 15 sec sprint, 2 min walk, 3:30 run, 15 sec sprint. 1:30 walk etc. Obviously, advance is much harder and assume beginner is much easier. I really like it. X

I've went back to intervals and am in my 3rd week now on running for weight loss!!! Soooo much better than just running!! And lots more effective! People are noticing I've lost weight again!! X

Looks good to me!! though I get a little confused when lots of meat is thrown in!! Still. Can't see any problems!! I, on the other hand almost made a huge mistake by not counting tuna as my HEB!! Nearly had 2 alpen lights to syn!! Realised in time tho!! Keep up the good work!! :)

Finally got round to taking a picture of my dinner!! WW tikka masala with quorn and cauliflower rice! 331 calories

70 cals each. :)

I'm fasting today! :) 2 quorn sausages and a 1 egg omelette for lunch an probably veg and a sweet potato for tea. Not really decided yet! :)

Try to avoid eating in the morning Firstly, it's good to have a 16hr fast (helps with fat burn) And secondly, I find that eating breakfast makes me hungry all day! I have black coffee and boiled water instead and first eat somewhere between 1pm and 5ish. Good luck! X

I'm fasting today. A day later than usual! Planning on leaving my 16 hours then poss oats so simple for a late lunch and am going to be brave and try slim pasta for dinner! Eeek!

I read Michael Mosley's 'the fast diet'. Easy to read and really useful. Gives his account and another from a female journalist. Also gives some food ideas for fast days. X

Not to worry, tomorrow is a different day altogether!! :)

I think 1200 cals on up days is too low. I have about 1800 on up days, I know others have a little more and some a little less but think 1200 is definitely too low. Thought it addresses that in the Michael mosely book? X

Fantastic lexie! Well done! All ur exercise must be helping too!! Long may it continue! X

You're right!! It hasn't moved really for about a year now so at least it's going in the right direction!! At this rate I'll still be 10lb lighter by my summer holiday! That would be me at 9 and a half stone which would be amazing so I could live with that!! X

Amazing losses. Well done both of you! X

Yes. I'm liking it. And lost nearly 8lb over last month and a bit so lots more than usual! Will see what happens on fri and keep on going. I'm off to morzine on fri too for a days skiing and a weekend of celebrating my sister's birthday. A loss on fri would get that off to a great start! X

I fasted today. Managed 25 hours thanks to a very long parents eve!! Stuck to 500 cals since getting home. I think I feel the cold more on fast days!! X

Well done! I'll update my tiny 0.2lb loss! X Trefoil 25lbs (2lbs lost 23lbs to go) Lanarkwitch ( 10lbs lost 18lbs to go) Bedtime Bear 12lb (9lbs lost 3lb to go) Fizzyfluff 28lbs (7lbs lost 21lbs to go) Dubsndice 42lbs ( 7lb lost 35lb to go) Welshmamma ( 5lb lost 23 to go) Luv2BSlim 35 lbs (7.25...

I lost 0.2 lb!! Hmm! Every little helps!!! :)

I agree. Couldn't do it after a night out!! Can u fast Sunday instead? X

Thank u all!! :) fingers crossed! X

All good so far. Fast day today. It has all been fine until I had my dinner about half an hour ago and now I could eat a scabby horse!! Going to out my boy to bed ten have a snack and hot chocolate I think. Have only had 311 cals so far. Weigh in tomorrow but totm for me too so not holding out...

I'm still a serial weigher!! I know I shouldn't but I'm fine with it! I do only count Friday' result tho and my weight does change dramatically from one day to the next. For example, on fri I was chuffed to be 10st3.8 and on Monday morning I was 10st7.6!! That was after 3 up days though and pre...

Yay!! Well done! :)

My losses so far have been - 4.8 Sts Sts -1 - 1.4 So 7.2 altogether in 5 weeks. I'm happy as it has started my weight loss up again! It had stopped altogether! X

Another 1.4 lb off for me! :) 8.2lbs altogether in 5 weeks. X

I have most of my cals in one go at about 5:30. This means I get almost a 24 hr fast in! If I eat breakfast, I'm starving by 11 and haven't foun lasting til 5 or 6 too difficult. Might save 100 cals for a snack an hour or so later but then another fast til thee next day. X

Ah but you're already at a weight ur happy with! Skinny Minnie!! X That takes me to 10st5.2 My lowest has been 10st0.8! Oh to be in the 9's!!! :(

Thank you. I've lost 1lb exactly. Not much for all my hard work but I feel better in myself so will keep on plugging away!! X

Can I join please? I never do very well at these things but would like a goal! It just needs to be realistic (I'm a very slow loser these days)! I think there's about 20 weeks left till the target date so I'll go for 10lb. That's a lb every 2 weeks!!! Surely that's doable!?!?? First weigh in is...

Thanks! Fingers crossed! 7pm last night until 6pm tonight. Thanks for the good luck - will be upset if I get a sts after all these fasts!!! Have to add a mini pack of Jammie dodgers to today's menu, couldn't resist!! An extra 88 cals! X

Another 23 hrs today. :) D - 2 quorn sausages 1 egg omelette 1/3 tin of beans Mini milk Graze box toffee apple 3 x black coffee 1 x white tea Trying not to think about wi tomorrow having not lost any weight in the last 2 weeks!! X

I read the boot 'the fast diet' was great - very clear and gives 2 case studies. X

Welcome Debbie. I lost over 3 stone on SW but came to a stand still so started calorie counting. Lost a bit more initially but have been maintaining for the rest of the time and it was starting to get me down! My lowest weight in all of this was 10st0.8 and atm I am 10st6.2. I'd like to lose...

Thought I'd share my tea with you - not a fast day but at about 350 cals, it could be! My sons wanted pizza the other night for our film night and I didn't have any so thought they could make their own using the warburtons sandwich pittas. They had ham and cheese but for tea tonight I had this...

Managed a 23hr fast today! :) Felt fine surprisingly! X D - carrots Cauliflower Broccoli Green beans Mayo 2 quorn sausages Mini milk 402 cals Snacks - mini Jammie dodgers 4 black coffee 1 tea with milk 102 cals Total 504 cals

Hi skuldilocks, I had the get running app and could have music and the talking woman! Think you can on most! X

My scales weigh in increments of 0.2 but stil 10st6.2. :( I feel better in myself tho so will keep going. I like the health benefits associated with this and weight loss is hopefully a side effect. My average cals has been about 1300 a day I think but I have been for 3 meals out this week. Don't...

Sts for me today. :( 2nd week running. X Official wi is usually thurs so will see if I can lose the last 3.2 by then!! I'm not holding out too much hope!! X

STS for me again. :(

If you are following the bmr route then your cal intake on other days would be 1600 I would assume but I think that as you are fasting, then you could still do the 2000/500 thing?? Will have a reread through my book today and get back to you! X

Have found it quite hard today! Much easier when I'm in work but off all week so didn't really matter andI was out for a meal weds, thurs and fri so couldn't be helped. I hope I've lost tomorrow!!!!!! X

I aim for between 1800 and 2000 a day. 2000 gives a deficit of just over 3000 cals a week. 3500 is better but fine if you're just below 2000 a day. Does that make sense?? X

Planned DD eats... L - 2 quorn sausages 1 egg omelette Ketchup Mushrooms 227 cals D - Minestrone slim a soup Half sandwich pitta 146 cals Snack - 4 black coffee 2 Tea with milk 4 mini Jammie dodgers 112 cals Total - 485 cals

Thanks! Getting hungry now so planning my meals... X

That's why I leave it until 3:30. Hungry again by 6 so eat again and don't seem to mind the wait until the next morning! Strange!! X

Hi everyone! I'm on my 2nd fast day of week 3 on 5:2. Loving it so far! I can honestly say I'm almost always no longer hungry, whether it's a fast day or not. The first week was a little tricky (though nowhere near as hard as I thought) but since then I've been fine! My usual fast days are mon...

I'm sure you can do that!! I'm excited about it too. Never that hungry anymore and getting out o the habit of eating. My new motto is not to eat unless I'm hungry! And to stop when I'm full!! :)

Well done Levin! :) Xxx

Couldn't fast today and can't do it tomorrow either! Will have to be Saturday now! Good job this diet is flexible!! Did fast until 12:30 yesterday and until 2:30 today. Just went over the 500 cals both days! 2 meals out and another planned for tomorrow! Eeek!! Not to worry! Did jump on the...

Will give it a go when I'm feeling brave enough! Do u still have coffee? DD eats... L - oats so simple Sugar 113 cals D - 2 quorn sausages 1 egg omelette Ketchup 228 cals Snack - 2 black coffee Tea with milk 6 mini Jammie dodgers 144 cals Total - 485 cals 20hrs fast from last night then...

Oh dear k!! :( Yes I'm on a dd. half term for me but have come in to work today to get stuff sorted!! Not eaten yet - planning to eat at 3 ish today then not sure. I'm ok so far!! Nice to hear from you both. Try to enjoy your day both of you!! Xxx

I ache after running if I've had a while off. Stomach arms and sides usually but think it depends on the muscles you don't often use?!? X

Exactly the same as last week :( Hopefully just cause its totm and it will show next week. X

I'm the same! End of my second dd of my second week! I'm crossing my fingers for a loss on the scales tomorrow!!!! :)

Thursday dd completed! :) Think it is definitely getting easier! Lunch - whole cucumber Rf houmous 148 cals Dinner - carrots Green beans Broccoli 2 Quorn sausages Mayonnaise Olives Grapes 327 cals Snack 4 black coffees 1 tea with sk milk 14 cals Total - 489 cals Hoping to see a loss...

Monday was surprisingly easy considering I'd been out for a drink the night before!! Can't say I look forward to the dd but I get through them. May have been overeating a little in between but not too much. Somewhere between 1800 and 2000 ish most days. (Apart from the vodkas)! Next down day...

Monday fast nearly done. And after a heavy night too!! L - oats so simple Sugar 114 cals D - 3 fish fingers Broccoli Cauliflower Carrots Green beans Tbsp mayo 346 cals Snacks - 4 black coffee 1/4 of a piece o toast and jam 39 cals Total - 498 cals Tired now though! Didn't get in til...

In doing the 5:2 too. Started last week and lost 4.8lbs. Loving the diet! My fast days are Monday Thursday too and I also weigh in on Friday!! :)

Hi Lottiebird (and AnnieAnnie) I started the 5:2 diet last Monday an lost 4.8lbs the first week. Very happy with it. 1 day, twice a week is fine because you know that the next day it will be different. Very refreshing not to have to be on a diet as such for the rest of the week!! Hoping to...

Can I join please? I'm doing the 5:2 diet so hope it's still ok to join here? Just finished my first week and lost nearly 5lb buy going for a realistic 8 for the whole of feb as I have no idea how this will work for me!! Teetiefunk 14lbs (0lbs lost 14lbs to go) Eatlessweighless 14lb (1lb lost...

Surprisingly yes! Always knowing that its just for a day helps! And that the next day I can eat 'normally'! Will see what happens next week! X

Update- I lost 4.8lbs this week! :)

Lost 4.8lb!!! :) Liking this 5:2 diet! Obviously the big test will be next week when I've done a whole week but very happy so far! Today's weight 10st6.2! :)

Haha! Didn't think u were being rude!!! Just have no idea and hadn't thought of it! Didn't think I ever go u see on a 500 cal day!! Thanks for the good luck! :)

Don't know???

Second dd all done and dusted!! Haha! L - porridge Maple syrup 114 cals D - 2egg omelette Mushrooms Spring onions 162 cals Snack - malted moos Tea with milk 5 black coffees 132 cals Total - 408 cals Had lunch at 3:15 the dinner at 8:30 and snack straight after...

My next dd is tomorrow! Have a long day at work tomorrow so going to keep myself really busy and try not to eat until 3:15 ish. That will be a fast of 19hrs! Eek! Sounds a lot! But based on Mondays experience, I wasn't really hungry when I ate my lunch at 12:30 so thinking an extra few hours...

Yesterday felt weird! I had more calories than I planned to so will need to watch that in future. I feel a bit dubious now because I ate so much yesterday - how is this going to work? But I have my fingers crossed! Only going to record my dd. the rest is on mfp. Looking forward to another day...

Hello everyone. I started the 5:2 diet today. My very first dd is almost complete! Feeling ok! I ate at 8:30 last night then fasted til 12:30 today. Had porridge and a banana for lunch. The hardest bit for me was lunch til dinner. I had a run planned for 7pm so didn't eat til 8:00. Have to say...

Ahh thank you ladies!! I'm lucky you haven't abandoned me! :) Just got in from my run and sat down to eat. I can not believe how good my dinner tasted!! :) 499 cals consumed and (coincidentally) 499 cals burned running!! Leaves me on 0 for the day and feeling surprisingly good!! Looking forward...

Just finished the fast diet! Was fab and as a result I'm midway through my first fast day, surviving on 500 cals and dreaming of lovely foods ill be eating tomorrow!!! :)

So I've been lurking on minimins for the past 6 months and commenting on odd threads but I haven't been keeping up to date with my diary. All went well for a while and I manage to get down to 10stone 0.8! Lowest in many, many years!! Then Christmas and January have been a bit lax and I weighed...

Also a good plan! :)

I always struggled with the first few minutes and still do. I can run 10k now and the first 3 is always the hardest. You just need to stick to ur guns and go for it! I'm stubborn and so wouldn't let it beat me!! :) You should do the same! Xxx It's a pain!! Here are ur options! 1) join a gum...

Ah! No idea!! :)

Duplicate post!

Sorry! Just found it on runkeeper in the training plans bit! Everyday is a learning day!! :)

I used get running. It was good and you could have your own music on as well. I use runkeeper now but just to track distances I run since i finished the c25k. Didn't think u could use it as c25k??? X

Have u read tess gerritsen? She's really good. Or Kathy reichs. Or tami hoag is a bit of a cross between the two! Steamy thrillers!! X

Go for it! No excuses!! :)

Well I've been here for AGES!! And over christmas went from 10st3 to 10st10!! Back on it today so hoping for at least a few of those to be gone by next week!! X

Wow! This thread has got really busy again! Glad to see everyone has been bitten by the running bug!! I did this almost 2 years ago and like many of you, couldn't run at all before! I roped a friend in and went for it and would now consider myself a bit of a runner!! I can do 5k in 30 mins now...

Think I'll give it a go when I get a few days!! :)

Ooh. What's it like? X

Well done Hannah. There'll be no stopping you now! :)

Yay!!!! Well done! What a feeling?!?!? U should be feeling v proud of yourself now! ;)

Keep going everyone! Will be worth it in the end!! X

I wear the usual. Running pants, sports bra!!, proper running socks are a must and I bought really good asics trainers to support my legs. They weren't that expensive either. X

If u need to slow down a bit then do. As long as u run when they say run (even if very slowly) u'll be fine!! You might not notice a big change in your fitness till closer the end but you de will get there!! X

Keep it up, takes a while to get into the swing of things but I promise you it will come in the end! And it will be well worth it! Xxx

Ah thanks. I'm good. Long story but all is good. How are u doing? X

Long time since I've posted on here but for anyone who followed the horse saga, (poss kieragh only...) he is being ridden again now. :) long way to go til he's out of the woods but it's a step in the right direction and I never thought I'd ride him again so it's all good! :) Xxx

Love this and you're absolutely right!! I 'couldn't' run either until I did the c25k. Not too bad now!! :)

The first is so hard for the first 3rd. You need to persevere because the second half and books 2 and 3 are amazing!!!! Don't give up! X

I saw a '9' today on my scales!! Soooo hope it stays for my weigh in on Saturday!!!!!!! :fingerscrossed: X

I love Rincewind!! :)

Well done everyone! :) Sts... Again!!!! X
